CVS Pharmacy Technician LicenseExam/90 Questions and Answers
Counseling - -While Technicians are able to make the offer to counsel, they
are not able to conduct a counseling or provide recommendations about
prescriptions or health related product to a patient. Counseling may only be
done by a Pharmacist or Pharmacy Intern, under the supervision of a
Pharmacist. The counseling is typically done in-person at any point
throughout pharmacy business hours. If the patient is not present in person,
counseling may be done over the phone or be put in writing. Patients are
provided the pharmacy's phone number on their prescription bag and are
always encouraged to call the pharmacy should they have any questions.
-Delivery - -While the Pharmacists and Technicians may offer delivery, most
facilities will use an outside courier to conduct the delivery. For HIPAA
reasons, only pertinent information for the delivery will be viewable to the
courier. If the patient is not home at the time of the delivery, the package
should be returned to the pharmacy and rescheduled for delivery.
